Might I suggest an outdoor collapsible dog bath for the bottom of your shower, it may give more space and pack smaller, but I like that big square tub idea! And putting it inside the other tent so it's nice and toasty! I'm gonna have to borrow that one, thank you!

[@RoamingWithRosie]

That's a great idea. 👍

Hey, Mark and I would just like to thank you for your videos. I'm doing some planning for our chasing 70 degree trip this year. Well be spending most of our time in Arizona and your Quartzsite videos are very helpful. We have a similar style to our videos in that we are looking for cheap options and a bit of history. Thanks for what you do. Hopefully, we'll survive the crowds during the RV show this year. Not our usual.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Great to see your comment. We enjoy your videos. They've helped us plan some trips as well. Our new Quartzsite video will be out this week. We were there last week filming. Come to Q25 Meetup. It's RV KZbinrs. We share & learn from each other.

[@SwitchingGearsRVDiary]

I showed up there on a greyhound after years of truck driving. I lived there for 2 years. From the stage coach to opposite the McDonald’s I worked at and my first winter was in a tent inside my vendor tent. Monsoon, micro burst, the section where you talk about Walmart is where I lived and worked. The yacht club also

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thanks for watching!

[@dmatty2373]

I don't mean to gig ya but, there is a sign that says no oil changes on LTVA. You can be fined, the sign is right in front of volunteer camp la posa south.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Yes, but you can have mobile repairs come because he's licensed & takes the dirty oil away. People leave dirty oil on the ground along with trash.

[@davem1564]

Enjoyed your video immensely. You provided great insight and information about staying there. Thank you both for sharing.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@troytaylor1913]

In the winter we shopped at Parker or Bullhead City. When the bit tent went down we would start shopping in Quartzite which was much closer to where we lived. I like to camp in the freezing cold sometimes.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@nathanturley4916]

In actuality the Ace Hardware store in Blythe is one of the biggest I've ever been to it's wonderful better than most Home Depots and let's not forget Smart and Final across the street from Albertsons if you want to save some money and have a good Market

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thank you for joining the conversation. We love Ace Hardwares. We shop there in Blythe every year. They are local franchises. We know an owner of one. But they can't possibly carry as much as a mega box store. Just a fact. NOT a preference. And showers were $10 on the date the video was made. Enjoy.

[@bigronshobbies8209]

Thanks for the video, My wife and I want to go there one day. Looks like a blast. Safe travels.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thank you. It really is about the people for us. Hope you make it next year!

[@vanlifeonthego6684]

Have heard so much this since we bought our travel van, now that we've seen some info on it, we'd probably pass. But to each his own and I can see why people would enjoy it. Full timers looking for warmer weather it's a good inexpensive option. We tend to avoid huge campgrounds as this seems to be, we bought a type of van that we can often park where RVs can't. We'd rather find a golf course somewhere, usually when we play it, and wake up with a great view of the course. Travel safe

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thanks for watching! Very different type of travel for sure!

We use it for everything but drinking. We get our drinking water in town. See you in Q in January. Thanks for watching!

[@PopCornSheffield-ow4vm]

Last oil change was 1 1/2 years ago? 😳 Did I hear that correctly?

[@RoamingWithRosie]

You should get an engine oil change at least 1x per year. Hope that helps.

[@abnormalalabama2546]

I have watched tons of videos about Quartzsite and I have absolutely no desire to even visit the place. My desire to live a nomadic lifestyle is to get away from masses of people. Even the arial views it looks like urban America. I have been primitive camping from Baja California to Thunder Bay Canada and enjoyed the quiet and solitude of nature and the night skies........

[@RoamingWithRosie]

That’s the beauty of the nomad lifestyle. Not everyone enjoys the same type of camping. We enjoy seeing the friends we’ve made over the years in Quartzsite. Thanks for watching!

@@RoamingWithRosie thank you for your reply. Are they local only or can travelers sell as well

[@brendaehrhard9038]

Hi, have a question or few. For long term visitor area as a space is there lots assigned to you so you don't loose your spot ? Why I have just a truck with camper shell I stay live in.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

It's just open desert. If you don't have any kind of toilet, you're asked to stay near the pit toilets. Other than that, anywhere you want. People who only have one vehicle, which sleep in often leave chairs or something out to save their area. If you are traveling as a single female, we highly recommend being there for the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, where there's an exclusive event only for women only. But a large portion do leave some stuff out when they're gone. Also, there's a lot of Facebook groups you can join to find others you may want to park near. 😊

[@brendaehrhard9038]

Thank you, for the information.

[@RedgieKeller]

Great video and information you guys! I want to come to the Q , hopefully in January. We have a 40’motorhome self contain , but I don’t think my wife what’s to boondock . So will be looking for one of the rv parks in town. We have been thought Quartzite many times coming from Idaho to Yuma , so would to stay and check it out. Thank you.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Any camper in tents, cars, or other set up without a self contained toilet system, needs to park within so many feet of one of the pit toilets. This is within the Long Term camping areas. 🏕

Some do and some don't. The BLM requires it...but there's not really anyone to hand out tickets. We bagged up a neighbor dogs poop that constantly was in front of our rig...and walked over to "meet" them and gift them the bags of it back. Their dog didn't poop in front of our rig anymore. 😆

There is plenty lying around, but bring a bundle from town by the tents. Starts at $3 for pine bundles.

We haven't found much. There aren't big trees. Mesquite trees grow wild more like a scrub or a bush. We found wood to be pretty expensive unless you buy a cord.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

I'm sorry if you have personally had an experience like this. I must disagree with you. This is a small town that relies on snowbirds to make it thru the year. We have been going every winter for the last 5 years. Many of our dear friends spend the entire winter there. These are not any of our experiences.

[@kekistanirefugee]

Ya'll boondocking in the desert but you can't change your own oil? Make it make sense.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

We could. But would have to have containers to hold the old oil and pay to dispose of it legally. Some things are more convenient to have done for you, especially over laying under the RV in the desert.

Thank you for letting us know that's how you heard it. We are frequent customers of that Ace Hardware when we're out there. And Ace is individually owned, so that's another reason to support it.
